Associated Press Dispatches TO the HERALD
WASHINGTON, December 10
Among the papers laid before the
Senate to-day was communication
from Italia n residents of Washington,
proposing to present the United States
a marble bust OF Garibaldi as a link
in the chain Of sympathy, which all
freemen feel for the champions OF
liberty and republican government. "
Referred to Committee on Library.
A bill was introduced by Call to
prohibit judges and ,ourts from au-
thorizing the borrowing OF money by
receivers of railroads and other cor
porations beyond the amount of their
annual income.
Other bills we're introduced as fol-
lows:
By George-To protect interstate
commerce in the Territories and the
District of Columbia.
Bv Moar--ro extend the general
land mining laws over the Territory
of Alaska, also to facilitate the settle
ment and development OF the re-
sources of Alaska, and open an over
land CONNER cial route between the
United States, Asiatic Russia and
Japan.
PLUMB's PROPOSITION.
The resolution offered some days
ago by Plumb was taken up, directing
tue Attorney-General to investigate
the issue Of a patent to Magnus Sven
son in connection with manufacture
of sugar from sorghum, and if invalid,
to commence suit to have the patent
cancelled, the point being that Sven
son was an employe of the Ag,icul-
tural Department while making the
experiments out of which the patent
was issued.
Edmunds thought that the resolu-
ton should be referred to the Com
mittee on Patents.
After long debate, in which Ed
munds, Plumb, Hoar, Sherman, Beck
Call, Teller and others took part, the
motion to refer it was rejected and the
resolution adop ed.
IT READS:
"Rcsolued, That the Attorney-Gen-
eral w requested to investigate the
issuance OF let ers patent to Magnu-
Swenson on October 10th, 1887, and
if in his judgment the same are i'll
valid, or were procured by reason OF
information Obtained from expert
ments made by the Government ; and
if in h,s judi mcnt suit can be main
tanned in the name of the United
States, to commence such suit prompt
Iy to have the same cancelled or the
u>e OF the same by said Swenson, or
any one claiming under him, perpetu-
ally epjoined."

NATURAL GAS.
1t ~ st ruck in Large Quantities
at FairVievv. u

SANTA ANA, December 15.--An ex-
tensive Quantity OF natural gas was
struck at a depth of 3l3 feet this after
noon on the new TOWNSHIP of Fairview'
recently founded by the Fairview De-
velopment Company seven miles
southwest Of Santa Ana. The people
OF the place are much excited over
the disc very. as there is no doubt
that at a little further depth, gas
enough will be found to supply the
towns of Fairview and Santa Ana,
which are now experiencing
A PHENOMENAL GROWTH
And boom. The Fairview Company
were boring for artesian water, but
have all along had great hopes of find
ing natural gas, and to-day they
struck both in large quantities, so
much SO, that nv touching match to
the water as it flows from the pipe it
will burn.

Alpine Choir and Tyrolese Company.

This excellent concert company of skilled
musicians and vocalists, who have the highest
testimonials from the press and distinguished
persons in Europe and America, will give o
concert at Odd Fellows Hall on the evening
of October 10th, if arrangements can be made
to secure them. They have engagements at
Hagerstown, Baltimore and Washington, and
will stop off at Westminster and give concert
en- route at reduced figure on that date, if
arrangements are made at once. The West
minister Fire Department are making an effort
to engage sufficient number of tickets In ad-
vance to warrant them in engaging the Com
pany, and if successful will seize the oppor-
tunity presented to give the citizens of West
minister and vicinity an entertainment OF rare
merit, and at the same time cover into their
treasury some very much needed funds.
Without going to the large cities our citi-
zens never have the opportunity of hearing
so excellent a concert company as the Alpine
Choir. They are unexcelled by any concert
company as vocalist and instrumentalists.
The Company numbers eight, and all are ar
lists. They appear in their native costume,
and perform on the violin, guitar, either,
gigilira and other instruments. Their vocal
selections include solos, Duets, trios and
sextets. Their concerts are said to be supe-
rior to those of the Rock Band Concert Com
pany, that gave SO enjoyable an entertainment
here in the winter of 1886. They have per-
formed before the Emperors of Germany,
Austria and Russia and nearly all the royal
families of Europe, and in nearly all the large
cities of Europe and America.
To secure the Alpine Choir and Tyrolese
Company, reserved seat tickets will have to
be placed at seventy-6vs cents each. The
hall will not hold sufficient number to per
nit a lower price, and it is hoped that suffi-
Gent number of tickets will be engaged at
once to warrant an engagement of the Com
pany. Orders can be left with Mr.. W. Il.
Seabrook or at the ADVOCATE office.

MEssRs. EDITORS From the vague, char
acteristic retort of the Hampstead Enterprise,
IN reference to my article on the Liability of
Publishers. it is not strange that some of thu
best critics have distilled venom necessari-
~ most nauseating to quiescent and unof.
Tending party. This is unfortunate, and ought
to be regretted, and my only reason for taking
any cognizance of it, and the best apology that
can be offered for using SPACE in your columns
with relation to such an evasive and unsavory
article is, that l may divest myself of the
nom de plume, and thus expose the editors
aim. There was but one question involved
in our correspondence, and that being fully
settled by my former communication, the
sense ofpropriety revolts at the condescension
necessary to meet my opponent squarely on
the ground which he has now SO unwisely
chosen. Offensive innuendo and the cant of
commonplace repartee, if INDUCED in dd in
ttnitunl, must eventually react in violence to
the best interests of the writer's, and evoke
the earnest deprecations of justly indignant
people. In view of the final resort and pres
ent attitude ofthe Enterprise, my selfrespect,
with many other interests more important
than my own, compels ME to drop the correspon
dence, leaving the sequel, which can be easily
anticipated, to the candid, intelligent readers,
for simple reference to its origin. The parent
insult died suddenly from such treatment, and
] feel safe in the prediction of similar fate
for all such as may follow. If the Enterprise
can enlarge the circle of patronage aud ex-
tend its influence for usefulness by the course
it is pursuing, it may now go ahead.
